the question is then this, what does barack obama or what does jim lehrer do as the moderator. he will anticipate a broad strokes vision about his tax plan. then the question becomes, how do you pay for it? you're going to cut taxes for everybody. it's going to be deficit neutral. you say you're going to close loopholes, deal with deductions, so let's talk about those deductions. you know, home mortgage deduction, charitable giving deduction, health care deduction. are you willing to tell the middle class -- >> tax deduction. >> are you willing to tell the middle class some of these are off the table? if you are, how do you pay for it? >> he's not going to. he has bucket, 17 grand. is that not good enough for you? >> that's the problem. if he starts getting specific like that, what the right wants to hear is not what 80% of the country wants to hear. that's the fundamental problem he has. >> the bar is pretty low for mr. romney. how does he get through the 90 minutes without any further problems? very quickly. >> i've been a big fan of the fact that mitt romney is the gift that

i'm going to make an important point here, jim. when you add up all the loopholes and deductions that upper income individuals can -- are currently taking advantage of, you take those all the way, you don't come close to paying for $5 trillion in tax cuts and $2 trillion in additional military spending. that's why governor romney's pledge by not reducing the deficit is by burdening the middle class. the average family with two children would pay $2,000 a year more. that's not my analysis. that kind of top-down analysis where folks at the top make more so the average upper class earner is getting a tax cut to the middle class can pay more, that's not my opinion of a program that works. >> everything he said about my tax plan is inaccurate. if the tax plan he described were something someone offered, i would say absolutely not. i would say no tax cut -- i will not add to the deficit with my tax plan. i will not reduce the amount paid by high-income individuals. i know you and your running mate keep saying that, but it is not the case
